From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Hozier has unveiled the new video for "Work Song", and it's predictably lovely.

Using the same cinematic style as seen in "Take Me To Church", the footage shows Hozier performing with his band on stage as the audience pair up for some passionate ballroom dancing.

Backing singers provide additional atmosphere in the church-like surroundings while the steady hand-claps make for a gospel feel.

Theme of love, sin and religion are also continued, with lines such as: "My babe would never fret none/About what my hands and my body done/If the Lord don't forgive me/I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me."

Earlier this month Hozier dropped the video for "Someone New" featuring Game Of Thrones star Natalie Dormer, following her co-star Maisie William’s appearance in the video for "Oceans" by Seafret in February.

"Work Song" is the latest official single from Hozier’s 2014 self-titled debut studio album.
